An hour and a quarter spent online and on the phone this morning haggling with Virgin Media for a new broadband deal. So far, I have been quoted £63 a month, £34 via the phone, a ‘best price’ of £43 online before finally giving me a deal of £27 a month - all for the same service. Infuriating.

Great Birmingham half marathon done ✅ Almost four minutes slower than last year at 2:12:37, but great fun (apart from the last mile up the side of the Selfridges building). Well done to everyone that took part - it’s a great event.
